Consultants work one-to-one with Aggies on improving their writing and speaking at both of our locations: Evans Library on the main campus and the Business Library & Collaboration Commons on west campus. They consult on-line and in person. They may also occasionally serve as our receptionist, help develop tutoring materials, conduct classroom workshops, represent the writing center at various functions, and do special projects. Graduate consultants will have additional duties, including helping with programming for graduate students such as our writing retreats and online writing accountability groups.
Candidates must be highly responsible and mature, and must possess excellent writing skills, interpersonal skills, and oral communication skills.
All writing and speaking consultants will be required to:
- Participate in a professional development session Saturday, August 23rd.
- Participate in weekly staff training meetings on Wednesdays from 8:15 am to 9:00 am.
- Complete a professional development class in the first semester of employment, which meets weekly, Wednesday mornings 9:00 to 9:50. The class is listed as a zero-credit course. There is no cost to enroll and you will be paid for the time you spend in class.
- Attain tutor certification from the College Reading and Learning Association by the end of the first semester of employment. Certification requires that tutors take our weekly class, attend our weekly staff meetings and orientations, and tutor for at least 25 hours during the semester. Consultants are paid for all time spent in training.
- Graduate students, based on their experience and education level, will be expected to take on additional duties such as assisting with writing retreats and/or taking on leadership positions.
Interviews conducted in spring are for positions starting in the fall semester. No summer work will be available for new hires.
